Post Comment Love 15-17 October

* The tickets to the theatre trip in this post were gifted by Bromley Players.

Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked and share some of that love. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’re here.

Last night we headed off to a local theatre to see the production of Out of the Darkness by Bromley Players. It was in the Bob Hope Theatre in nearby Eltham, which if I’m honest I didn’t know existed. But it was a pleasant surprise, and it was great to be back in a theatre again. It’s a great local theatre, and a shame that we’re only just discovering now.

The concert was billed as celebrating getting back into the theatre, and the long awaited return of shows, and promised a jam packed, fun and talented-filled evening. Just as we enjoyed being back in the theatre, it was obvious that everyone in the theatre, and not just those on the stage, were thrilled to be back in a place that they’ve not been in for so long. Their joy was so apparent and it was great to see the energy and sheer enjoyment of those on the stage doing something that clearly means so much to them.

Thank you Bromley Players for a great local night out, and for opening our eyes to a fantastic resource.

Love this #94 Onome Otite's three dimensional figurative collages

For me one of the best parts of the Knitting & Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace, which I visited last Saturday, is the exhibitions. The items on display are always of such high quality, and to me, are inspirational. These collages by Onome Otite were stunning and definitely caught my eye.

In the morning I’d taken part in one of the workshops and finessed my applique and bondaweb technique - more on that another day - so it’s not surprising I was interested in these. Add in the pattern, texture and colour, and yes I was lured in - there was no way I was escaping.

The stand had the confidence to have space, and was very effective.

It was these series of large figurative collages that stole the show though - they’re as large as they look.

Post Comment Love 8-10 October

Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked and share some of that love.

I’ve had a few days off this week which has been lovely, though as it turned out quite well timed. My dermatologist appointment from the GP’s referral back in August came through, and so on Saturday I headed up to our local hospital. Still with no petrol I decided to walk, and of course it rained. The original issue wasn’t much to worry about, though it was still cut out and sent for testing, but the dermatologist did spot a mole that concerned him more. As he said, my luck was in as the surgeon was also there on Saturday, so I left with (slightly) less body matter and a few stitches, and plenty of replacement dressings and strict instructions. That was the well timed bit as moving, and sitting down, was tricky - it’s easing, but still a bit bumpy around the stitches, but I’m sure it will heal. I just need to remember its tender, and preferably before I move or sit down with haste!

This week my photo’s taken from our back garden looking up at the gorgeous silhouettes on our neighbour’s rooftop balcony - isn’t it great?
